Had a nice time at breakfast before heading home. Came up with this math word problem on the way...

Ques. #1: Because the car show was cancelled, Fred and Kate head south for home at "55" mph. A big black storm cloud is headed east at ~40 mph. Fred continues south, while Kate decides to take the highway going east. How long until they get wet?

I managed to get home and in the garage while it was still a gentle rain, so it only started raining in the car when I had to stop for stoplights. So very good timing overall. Hope everyone else made it home without getting soaked!

Kate...not so lucky...Got soaked on way home...had to pull over and cover up under tarp...no bridges in sight...good news...I learned that my cobra didn't melt and runs fine in the rain. Also learned I need wipers. All take care.

Sorry to hear about the rain, shame super sunny now.

Wags: Get some Rain-X, put both on outside and inside of windshield. Also I have put it on my sunglasses (yes and I have wipers).

Arcenio...thanks for your comment on the wipers. I had decided to hold off on spending the $500 or so for now.

Everyone clear on the breakfast meeting time & spot?
I may be going directly to Volo from home to finish-up some business.
So if I'm not at the Alps at the departure time, I'll meet you there.
We have reserved parking at Volo so if you came late tell them you are with the WCCC...And I hear that there are some nice awards this year too..

If it's the same plan as before, we'll leave White Alps by 8:30 to drive in as a group.

I'm planning to get there before 8 to have some breakfast.

Weather forecast looks good for tomorrow!
